I just added flicker gallery plugin “falbum” and you can now view some of the photos from my flicker account.

I love this plugin, I’ve been thinking of having gallery on the site and this one make it alot easier. Just need to do abit of config with my template since I mess around with the code inside before. Otherwise the setup should work in a few seconds.

It display all your photo sets as separate gallery groups. The photo display is excellent too, can change to many sizes, slideshow etc.
I just love this one.

Thanks alot to the creator.

I was busy, lazy, crazy and zeey before and kept delaying the upgrade.
Finally I’ve done that. Mayvelous upgraded from WP 1.5.1.2 to WP 1.5.2

Hmm…I don’t see any change in my admin controls…well they say upgrade so there is it.
I’m sure it’s for the better performance

Ok I still don’t know how to ping or track back to other blog posts. Stupid me I know, I just never tried that yet. Will have to try that somehow. hmmm.

K Tar!.

I was reading Arloo’s Making Money By Blogging post and was amazed by his achievement in a short while. A hundred plus bucks for a month is quite an achievement. I was inspired by his dedication to his blog and his efforts on making money out of it, I thought of reviewing how my blog doing.

Looking back my earning ie. $1 to $2 per month and some months my account shows $0, I’m in no competition with him.
My highest ever earning would be $4.28 on August
Boy, I was like WOW! I go over 4 bucks?? WOW! lol.

Now I’m thinking why do I blog?
Do I ever want to make money out of it?
What do I trying to achieve by having my own site?

I think I can perfectly answer those and I’m glad that I still maintain my main purpose.

To answer the question “Why do I blog?”,
I think know I always wanted my little place where I can express my thoughts and opinions freely.
I want to improve my writing and expressing things.
I want to exchange ideas with alike kind of people.
I want to be one of very first Burmese to try new internet technology and
I want to be part of the world fastest growing blogger community.

Do I want to make money out of it?
I’m not sure, may be.
Who wouldn’t want money anyway? We all human right?
If I say, no I don’t want to make money, then I’ll be lying.
So, I’m gonna say, yes I want to make money out of it, if it’s possible.
But I’m not too serious about it.
It won’t be my first priority for blogging and I don’t care if I don’t make a single cent from it.
I’m happy as it is. I add adsense to my blog as every other bloggers do.
But I don’t want to over do it by clattering ads with my contents or site design.
I prefer clear, neat and easy reading pages than every space mess up with ads.
I dislike hate blogs where its content got disappeared under numerious ads.

I appreciate a good content and respect the blogger with creative ideas, a great writer and a decent looking site.
So coming back to my second point, I like to make money but I would rather maintain a decent site with a good content than adding excessive ads to make money from it.

Some of the thing I’m trying to achieve by having my own site is to maintain my ideas, thoughts and notes archived nicely online able to access anytime.
Having this site, I’m trying to publish my progress in life. One day I’ll read those back and may be I’ll laugh or cry about my past happenings.
Also I’m trying to add one more line to my CV where my future employer can easily get to know my personalities as well as any other talents I may have by viewing my personal site.

So now you know why I blog and why have my own site. I wonder why you blog and what’s your plans are.

OH MYYY!!!

Seriously, I’m so in love with wordpress.com.
The Geeks over there are superb!!

I just discover the new “Import” feature in my wordpress.com blog “Musing Along Extraordinary Exaggerations“.

It lets you import your blogger posts to your wordpress site and guess what, it’s easie pisie!
Won’t even take 3min of your time. It takes care of everything for your, format the text, archive the posts accordingly …. boy! I just love it.

Log in to Blogger
The script will log into your Blogger account, change some settings so it can read your blog, and restore the original settings when it’s done. Here’s what you do:

1. Back up your Blogger template.
2. Back up any other Blogger settings you might need later.
3. Log out of Blogger
4. Log in here with your Blogger username and password.
5. On the next screen, click one of your Blogger blogs.
6. Do not close this window or navigate away until the process is complete.

Out of those, the only thing you have to do is, login to your blogger account.
I just imported my posts + comments from “Gifted7ven Technical Blog” to “Musing Along Extraordinary Exaggerations” and voila all there!

I just love it! Thank you, thank you so so much WP!!!

Tar!

The Invite has been sent to Wai Pyo.

My lucky day I guess. I got an invite from the amazing “wordpress.com” and now my new blog, “Musing Along Extraordinary Exaggerations”, is up.

It has new functionalities in admin(WYSIWYG textbox, image uploading, on-fly category creations etc) and some part are restricted, eg. can’t update/use custom template, no user subscriptions, no plugin.
The whole site set up is limited to the functionalities of the template you’ve chosen. I wish they allow the custom template function later on.
There is only 5 templates to choose from and vanilla mist is one of them. Since I’m using vanilla mist here, I chose different template to go with the new blog.

Now I got too many blogs and I can’t keep up with those.
I’m still thinking what to write/even not sure what title to give to that new blog haha.
What do people want to read from my blog … or rather they don’t…hmmmm
Any ideas or suggestions?
